Catching up. I’ve been absent for a couple of months, hiking my way from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. Facial hair has been a challenge. Walked 250 miles in April and took some time out. Getting back on trail on Monday. Enjoying some Agnes time for a few days. I have a few more months to go to finish CA, OR and WA. Expecting an appointment in November to consult on surgery.

I have a couple of daughters turning 27 and 25 this month and to celebrate we went to a sushi restaurant with their boyfriends, friends and their mother and me, 10 all together. I dressed in a blouse and slacks and put my hair up in a high ponytail. First time out in public dressed this way. Nobody at the restaurant batted an eye. My daughters and wife are completely accepting.

 

I had bought some lipstick, foundation and mascara a couple of years ago but misplaced them. I found them at the bottom of my purse which I haven’t used in a long while. When I got home, I put them on and was rather pleased with the difference they made. 
 

I’ll be hiking for a few months and the beard will be hard to deal with but when I get done with the hike in September I’m excited about accelerating the process along.
 

So far it’s all been about the internal journey of acceptance. I haven’t cared too much what I looked like on the outside. That’s starting to change. The external becoming a true mirror of the internal is becoming more important to me. And may increase feelings of dysphoria which I have been trying to avoid. I can actually see myself waking up every morning and putting on makeup first thing when I get dressed for the rest of my life. 
 

I’ve been doing electrolysis for the past two years and at the rate I’ve been going it could take another couple of years or more. I have to speed that up somehow. I do see that the beard has thinned out quite a bit and grows a lot more slowly due to HRT so that’s an encouragement.
 

Same thing for the eyebrows. Do I pluck them all out and keep them plucked or what? Can FFS raise them up a bit?

Very nice photos.  Be wary of old makeup.  It does seem to have a shelf life.  As to eyebrows, you can cut the hairs short (1/4" - 5/16").  Draw an imaginary line from the corner of your nostril to the inner point of your eye.  Continue up to your brow.  Do the same on the other side.  Remove brow hair in the middle.  If you are plucking the brows to shape, always shape from the bottom so they are in an arch.  You can have an electrologist do this but is a might bit painful (like upper lip).  

 

Good luck, have fun.

Thanks Jani. Good advice. I just used a dab of foundation. Nothing fancy. It’s all I have at the moment. I will visit my local Ulta store to get fresh supplies and advice.

There’s that inner woman in me just bursting to get out. She’s saying “Let me out! Let me out!” I’ve kept her bottled up my whole life! Even as I’ve undergone HRT and electrolysis the last two years. I’m lucky to have a supportive family and to live in a liberal enclave where people tend to be more accepting. Although I do have some acquaintances who have expressed some strong opinions to the contrary. I suspect that might be playing a role in holding me back. I’ve had one or two people confront me directly on my long hair and earrings and I have not been direct with them in return. I usually try to turn it into a humorous aside of some sort, along the lines of “Ah, I see you’re starting to go bald. Jealous huh!?” But not directly questioning their underlying phobias.

1st meeting with a new young guy late last night. 

 

Martini bar where I’ve applied & hope to work.

 

Turns out he’s an evil time lord. with an occult name, seeking a submissive companion.

Well another first. Put on some lipstick and mascara and went to Walmart and bought a small lightweight battery operated shaver to keep the hair at bay while I’m hiking. The customer at the checkout in front of me was having problems but she said “you might want to take care of her first” referring to me. Then took the car to jiffy lube for oil. And filters and sat in the waiting room for an hour. Nobody batted an eye. Feels good. Feels right.

I just go to the local threading place or the local wax place and let someone else do the brows. Not that expensive at least around here.

My daughter and her new husband came by last night and she fixed my hair. She said she was so looking forward to introducing her children, when she has them, to her grandma. Chills! Pinch me. Is this really happening?

Shorts, grass sandals, and not a stitch more.  That's going to be my uniform for the next 4+ months of warm weather.

That's great @Aggie1I'm so happy that your daughter is supportive, and a temporary hair stylist. I only wish the picture was larger so I could maybe take some tips.

 

@Ivywe thought cat hair was normal feature on our dark clothing. We kept our grandsons and their dog over the weekend. Cat hair is nothing compared to the white bull dog hair that Luna left us with.

 

Hugs,

Gray shirt and silver shorts at the moment. Just got done shaving and feel better already.

Black pinafore with cat hair, and lace up moccasin boots.  Went for a walk in the woods by the river this morning.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
